His Rui

Chapter 227 - The Big Shock

It was night. The dark blue sky was lit with a moon and a small number of stars as it had rained just yesterday and the sky had started to get free from the clouds in the Imperial City.

The rays of moonlight were falling inside the room through the window.

The long eyelashes fluttered a little kissing the soft and smooth cheek again and again and Li Rui finally opened her eyes slowly.

A frown marred her forehead presenting her confusion as she found herself lying on the bed.

However, before she could even sort out her confusion, she was forced to put a stop to them as she met a pair of deep black eyes fixed on her face.

The owner of those eyes and his proximity made her body slightly tense as she remembered something that she had learned not very long before.

"Awake? Do you need something?"

The deep voice made Li Rui move her eyes back to the man who was leaning his upper body on her torso and had been looking at her for how long she didn't know at all.

"Water"

She whispered lightly at the same time trying to keep the stiffness of her body unnoticed from his eyes.

Xi Ying nodded his head and in the next moment, Li Rui found a glass of water near her lips.

She wanted to take it from Xi Ying's hands but found the man didn't have any intention of leaving the glass, instead, he silently forwarded the glass in front of her lips.

'Was she supposed to drink the water like this?' Li Rui questioned inside her mind but looking at the man found the man had every intention of doing this.

She glanced at the glass in front of her silently for a moment and then finally leaned down and drank the water under Xi Ying's scorching gaze.

Somehow she could feel that there was something different about his eyes as he looked at her but….she didn't know what it was.

'He couldn't have found out that she knows everything while she was unconscious, right?' Li Rui thought as she drank the water glancing at Xi Ying from the corner of her eyes.

Her heart sank at this thought and the wheels of her mind turned even faster.

She finished moistening her throat and leaned her head away from the glass slightly indicating that she doesn't wish to drink water anymore.

The glass was removed and she looked at Xi Ying's each and every movement as he put the glass on the bedside table.

She had hoped perhaps Xi Ying's slight movement or mistakes will give away his intentions towards her.

"Are you feeling alright?"

Responding to the question, she nodded her head lightly as she tried to remember just when and how she reached her room.

But she couldn't remember anything.

The next moment, however, her thought were interrupted when she found herself lying on the bed.

It was then she raised her head and looked at those pair of deep black eyes seriously and her breath almost hitched in her throat, seeing the intensity of emotions in them.

But what emotion this was? She suddenly found herself unable to answer her own question.

Was it hatred?

"Rui…"

The warm breath near her earlobe and the sensual and deep voice made Li Rui unable to think anything for a moment.

"Lord"

She whispered softly as she tried to push Xi Ying away from herself.

She didn't like the state of absentmindedness.

However, her hand was on his chest was held by him and he effortlessly leaned down more covering her cold lips with his hot ones.

Panic, fear, and then anger flashed in her clean black eyes.

No, she didn't want to do it…especially after knowing everything, she didn't want him to touch her. But Xi Ying seemed to be lost in his own world where he could not comprehend anything else.

"Rui…my Rui…."

He murmured over those pink lips again and again.

Was there any way of integrating himself in her? He wished there was because he wanted to just that at this moment.

Fill himself with her and fill her with himself ….so that no one can separate them in this whole universe.

Rui was his and he belonged to Rui.

He kissed her deeply but left those lips reluctantly very soon fearing that he would make her breathless or uncomfortable with the kiss.

Caressing her cheek, he looked at her flushed face as she panted lightly.

His eyes were filled with intense love not noticing how the woman under him seemed to be relieved seeing that he didn't have any intention of going further.

"Lord…what happened to Rui? How did Rui reach here…inside her room?"

Li Rui asked immediately so that they can have something to talk and Xi Ying would not do what he did just a few moments ago.

Although she has many methods to save herself, she just didn't want use to them on Xi Ying. He was very clever and powerful and she can't afford to get revealed in front of him.

Her eyes flickered with confusion when she saw a small smile on Xi Ying's lips at her question. The next moment, she saw him going down across her body.

Xi Ying stopped above Li Rui's stomach.

His black eyes shone with love, possessiveness, and obsessiveness as he noticed Li Rui's clean black eyes on himself.

The current scene seemed too perfect to him.

He caressed Li Rui's stomach that was covered with a blanket with his hand.

With his other hand, he picked Li Rui's hand that was lying on the bed. Kissing her knuckles, he whispered gently

"You went unconscious as soon as we reached Xi Manor."

Li Rui's eyes flickered with more confusion at her words.

She collapsed …but why?

The next moment, she got the answer to her question.

Xi Ying smiled deeply seeing the confusion in his wife's eyes. Still holding her hand, he kissed Li Rui's stomach and said the words that shook Li Rui to the core.

"You are pregnant Rui, with my child…with our child."
